Omega 3’s derived from fish oils (EPA/DHA) demonstrated a mild, yet consistent benefit, in mobility and pain scores in dogs with arthritis. Beneficial effects may take 6-12 weeks to become noticeable.

Grade A

Fish Oil (Omega-3) - Skin/Coat

Omega-3 supplementation had a mild, consistent benefit for the reduction of itch and improvement in skin disease. However, the primary benefit was a reduced dose of prescription medication, rather than efficacy as a standalone treatment.

Grade B

Green-Lipped Mussel

Supplementation with GLM to dogs with signs of arthritis showed a consistent, mild improvement in mobility and signs of pain.

Grade B

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT)

Supplementation with MCT in the early phases of cognitive dysfunction may reduce the rate of cognitive decline and result in mild improvements in cognition, though evidence is limited.
